[StonX]

Hi Rohan, I'm glad you and ur fish like it.
Well...my new discus is taking a liking on it after 2 days in the tank.
spit out the tetrabits, nibling on the riccia.

[StonX]

Hi Jim,

I don't know if all discus like them or not, mine does.
This is similar to java moss, but the color is much2 better. bright green at the top.

Hi Chris,

Happy you like it. Hows the stem plants?

[tank]

here is a question can ricca be used on a bb tank or does it need gracel too root

[StonX]

Riccia is naturally a floating plant.
You need to attach it to something to keep it submerge.

The link by Del above should explain regarding Riccia.

[Benny]

does it need to be held permanently to a piece of driftwood? or after a while will it sort of weave itself together and not fall off?

[Proteus]

Sam, it is the same stuff as on the 2 rocks in the display tank at SLS

[Sam]

ummm i know why r u telling me.
bens the one who wants to know lol.

[Sam]

but from wat i have seen with this stuff.... we put it on about 1 - 2 months ago and it looked like its been spiked up with gel but now it seems to be holding on a little bit better.

[Proteus]

oops.... Sam, Ben... ug they are coming from everywhere

[StonX]

but from wat i have seen with this stuff.... we put it on about 1 - 2 months ago and it looked like its been spiked up with gel but now it seems to be holding on a little bit better.

That gel stuff...it's some sort of algae. Not sure what it's called. Normally I just prune the top part.

[Benny]

I think he was speaking metaphorically about how it looks,, like gelled hair sort of thing?


Could be interested in some, when i obtain something to put it on lol

Stonx,

Do you have any riccia still for sale? I bought some off you a couple of months ago but it did not grow very well as I discovered that I had 0 KH. I have since rectified that and the plants are going beserk. I would like to try it again.

Dave.

[StonX]

Hi Dave

I'm sorry that it didn't go well for you last time. I never bother checking KH, seems it grow pretty well in mine.

I don't have much left. Tomorow a guy is coming over to pickup his then 2 more lining up for some. I'll let you know ok.

Thanks
Hendry

[Davo]

Hendry,

It grew ok but the problem was the algae outbreak caused by a fert imbalance. I think (I hope) I have it under control now.

Dave.

[StonX]

what sort of algae?
